A Valparaiso man has been indicted on four federal counts of possession of pseudoephedrine, knowing and having reasonable cause to believe the listed chemical would be used to manufacture methamphetamine, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Indiana said.

Jason Haddock, 30, was taken into custody on that indictment, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

The case is being investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

In November 2009 Haddock was arrested by the Porter County Drug Task Force on charges of possession of methamphetamine and maintaining a common nuisance, after agents investigated an anonymous complaint of possible drug activity at his residence in Union Township. Both of those charges are Class D felonies punishable by a term of six months to three years.
